Pursuing the Egoist by Nero Seal

“What’s the appeal of breaking what’s already broken?”

POWER. SEX. MONEY.
Yugo has everything he wants in life—a young, beautiful lover and a successful business he rules with an iron fist. His present holds no place for love or regrets until the door to his past creaks open, reanimating the beginning of his unhealthy obsession with Kuon, and all the anger, annoyance, curiosity, and lust that came with it.
When the memory scratches at his contentment, making it bleed, he isn’t sure he will be able to let Kuon go again.
